Bodyweight: Lighter
OH Press: 116lbs (2x5) - not bad, second set was easier due to better form, I kept it closer to my neck and did have some leanback, which helps
Squat: 241lbs (3x5) [4 & 4.5-min breaks] - these were tough, but that partially was due to my tight left quad, which I still have not massaged yet (Finals)
CGBP: 126lbs (x19)
Deadlift: 201lbs (“x20” = 10+2+2+2+4) - gained strength apparently
